is there a agp nvidia 7300 ?

i just read the article on AT on the 7300gs and it seems like a nice budget card for light gaming. so i am thinking of putting one in my sempron 2400+. problem is there's only an agp slot in it so my questin is where/when can i find a agp one.

There is no AGP version of the 7300GS and there probably won't be. The budget cards like the 6200 and 7300 series use 'TurboCaching' where the video card accesses system memory to top up the small amount of memory included on it. TurboCaching is possible only through the PCI-Express slot. This allows Nvidia to include only small amounts of memory on the cards themselves, keeping prices down. Nvidia did recently release an AGP card but it's aimed at the enthusiasts who wanted a high-powered graphics card for their AGP boards.

there are non turbo cache 6200s, i would guess there would be a 7300 agp
